Chances are low that you'll find a taker here. I'd offer that you advertise locally. Good luck.

If you are looking for someone to sell your things for you, you will most likely have trouble finding anyone. Ideally, they would have to have the items in their possession. They would have to photograph the items, list the items, handle questions from buyers, handle returns, chargebacks, and potential fraud claims. They would have to ship, probably using their own shipping supplies, or large things would have to have arrangements for local pickup. There are fees to take into consideration and the potential for a chargeback from a credit card company can take up to 180 days, which can have a bearing on distributions of monies. The sales would be applied to the seller's social security number for the 1099 issued at the end of the year. For all the work and responsibilities involved in selling, most sellers do not want to take on these responsibilities for someone else's stuff and it is not worth whatever you would offer to pay them.
In addition to all of the above, the person selling your things would have to have a working knowledge of them so that they could answer questions, etc. It could take months for some items to sell; some might not sell at all. Fraud and scamming run higher in some categories so that would be something to consider. If any of the items are high dollar, it is not a good idea to sell them on eBay. ("Never sell anything you can't afford to lose".)
Depending on what you have and/or if you have a lot of stuff, you might consider talking to an estate sale company or auction service in your area. You would still have selling fees to pay but it would all be taken care of a lot more quickly.
